''It is further justification of our concern expressed in the Kaduna declaration and subsequent correspondences with the acting president of the federal republic of Nigeria and the international community.

''In our usual truly patriotic aim to forestall the drift toward anarchy in Nigeria, and also to alert the international community as to where responsibility would ultimately lie if such momentous events ever came to pass, we have followed up our earlier effort by another round of initiatives of extending similar communications to relevant authorities.
We have met with many leaders and groups with positive developments while our doors remain open for discussions with more groups, leaders and agencies genuinely interested in addressing the separatist issues with a view to finally achieving a peaceful and stable Nigeria''.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was warned by the leaders of Igbo traders in Lagos, that he was not welcome in the state.
The traders stated that if Kanu brings his agitation for Biafra to Lagos, it will be bad for their businesses as Nigerians would think they are in support of him.
